Some of you may remember us mentioning another couple using our same coordinator that was just a little bit ahead of us in the process. Well, our friends Kelly & Amanda leave in less that 2 weeks to complete the final chapter in their journey to bring home a daughter.We met them for dinner Thursday night and had a great time just hanging out & comparing notes. We talked about the journey so far; we discussed t
hings like packing and language; and we shared our hopes & fears about what lies ahead. It was great to spend some time with them before they leave - the next time we see each other, life for all of us will probably be A LOT different!They are such a great couple - and their son Zachary (adopted from Russia in '04) is so precious. We can't wait to see what God has in store for them over the next couple of months. Please be in prayer for the Taylors as they depart on September 28. Pray for safe travels and for God's hand to be on the entire adoption process. Also, please pray for them as they leave 3-year old Zachary with his grandparents for this time. And pray for Zachary - that he will cope well with this big change, both while they're gone and when they return with a new sibling for him!
I will do my best to give progress reports as I receive them!
51 Days!

It's so awesome to have friends in the same situation. Imagine how cool it will be when you get together with your kids! Hoping for the smooth process for Kelly and Amanda.
Sounds like you had a great time. It is so nice to meet other families who are adopting or have adopted because they know what you're going through. It will be wonderful to share experiences and friendship with them once you're all home.
